AR-15 Rifles For Home And Self-Defense, In Delaware

Although a rifle is the single best choice for self and home defense unfortunately there are those politicians in Delaware and elsewhere in the country that simply don’t understand that a Rile is a incredible tool, and they are trying to vilify Rifles, especially sporting rifles and any firearm that is capable of semi-auto fire.

Your 2nd amendment rights in Delaware is under attack by ignorant politicians and US Precision Defense is helping to bring out the truth about firearms and their invaluable role in Self-Defense, and saving lives.

It is a sad state of affairs that in Delaware that something that is so iconic in all of American history is so misunderstood by politicians, they forget history, that every single state in our union had Rifles as part of their history and even in the formation on their actual existence.

Rifles as a way of Self-Defense in Delaware is a right that all Americans should have without the impedance that some are trying to impose on your rights. Rifles not only are an excellent tool for Self-Defense, they came to the defense of our country from our founding to this very day, and we would not be a Nation if Rifles had not been available for our common Self-Defense.

The Delaware State Constitution States: “A person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and state, and for hunting and recreational use.”

New gun control legislation, passed by the Delaware House of Representatives, will require universal background checks for the sale of firearms. The bill, introduced by Governor Jack Markell following the recent mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., will make it a criminal offense to privately transfer or sell arms, as transfers will require a criminal history background check. The bill titled House Bill 35, passed on March 28, 2013 and passed with a 24-17 vote is part of a package of new gun measures that will include new rules on guns in school areas, faster reports of stolen or missing guns, and bans on high-capacity magazines and assault weapons.

Delaware has no law against open carry of a firearm; Americans have been shocked recently to see images of gun-toting individuals openly carrying firearms in public places like coffee shops, restaurants, and public parks, and at political rallies. Many of these individuals identify themselves as part of a growing “open carry movement,” a collection of grassroots groups nationwide just as in Delaware, some groups in the state are advocating “Open Carry” as a way to show that there are law abiding citizens with guns, and to bring to public debate the importance of the 2nd amendment, and individual safety from criminals.

Delaware is an open carry state. Those doing so should be aware that any local ordinances that were in effect at the time that preemption was passed (July 4, 1985) are still in effect and are NOT preempted. Open carry does not yet appear to be a common occurrence in Delaware, but the number is increasing.

Although Delaware is one of the smallest states in the country the political climate is watched closely by other states as Delaware has a reputation of being a progressive state which stems in part due to its work with an inviting climate for Corporation registrations in the country, as such anything Delaware does concerning Gun-rights can have far reaching implications. Keep up with the ever changing Gun Laws in Delaware and other states by becoming a member of US Precision Defense.

Under new legislation proposed in Delaware, individuals who fail to notify police of a stolen or missing gun would face a fine of up to $500 for a first offense and could lose their right to own a gun for a second offense.

Delaware Concealed Carry classification; The “May Issue to Residents Only” classification means that the issuing official may or may not issue a permit to a resident if they meet all of the legal requirements. Non-Delaware residents are not eligible for Delaware Concealed Carry Permits.

The hypocrisy of the gun-grabbers knows no bounds. Dianne Feinstein has no problem ordering Mr. and Mrs. America to turn in their guns while brazenly admitting she had firearms permit. The same goes for Wilmington, Delaware mayor Dennis P. Williams, who is a member of New York mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a national campaign to restrict the Second Amendment under the cover of preventing the spread of guns the government insists are illegal and, of course, protecting the children. Williams is a former cop with a Delaware concealed carry permit. He doesn’t carry when he is accompanied by his security detail, but packs when visiting tough Wilmington neighborhoods. He also carried a firearm on the House floor back when he was a state representative.

From a quote found on a Delaware 2nd amendment advocates press release: Yes, the “Good ol Boy System,” is alive and well in Delaware’s General Assembly. What has happened to the days when a person only served in a state’s general assembly as a citizen legislator instead of a career politician. The good ol days when a persons’ word was his bond and a person could expect honesty from their “citizen legislators.” Well my friends, those days are gone and won’t return unless “we the people,” make it happen.

Delaware Governor Jack Markell revealed a package of five measures designed to prevent gun violence in the state; "I respect the 2nd Amendment, but the measures that we propose today are entirely constitutional," Markell pledged that no member of his administration would question the intentions of any lawmaker who disagrees with his agenda. "I expect a robust debate, but I believe this is not a debate about the 2nd Amendment." What do you a citizen of Delaware think? Be proactive and contact your elected official and voice your concerns. US Precision Defense encourages a healthy and open debate.
